Letha did not think her race to be something to hide, but she had not initially intended on talking about it with this child. Of all that was happening to her in Caido, this new place full of new things and experiences, her time with Seren had felt easy. Easy and warm and playful. It had eased the tension she had been feeling, and the game only made her feel more comfortable.
But she had felt it too much, and she had smiled too broadly. Seren was almost immediately drawn to her fangs, and Letha leaned back away from the child. She was not yet sure why she had fangs, but she knew two things: creatures that had them were predators, and her fangs were sharp. She did not know much of anything other than that, but she did not want to take the chance of hurting this girl, even if on accident.
"I am an Ascended," she tried not to let her voice sound panicked, and smile lightly to Seren. She reached out to hold the small girl's hands, as to keep them from curiously reaching up for her fangs again. "I'm just different from you."

Where will I find peace other than in oblivion?
